  2. I really don't understand why UCR and DCR don't trade with more volume. You would think they would be more active. They usually have HUGE spreads as well throughout the day.

    Usually new ETFs dont really get alot of interest. Some ETFs have been trading for years that still do no more than 500,000 shares a day.
     
  4. That should change in the coming months/years.
     
  5. I realize that new ETFs take a while to get going, but UCR and DCR are different. They don't actually own the underlying security, in this case OIL. They supposedly funnel funds back and forth between them based on the price of oil and supposedly the sum of the two should add up to 120 or thereabouts at all times. If this concept - derivative as ETF -catches on, they could apply it to all types of underlying securities or commodities.
